Idler-at-large
Notwithstanding — an important Canadian constitutional term — I do not advocate most forms of violence, especially regicide. I have long been against revolutionary acts. We should leave brutality and barbarity almost entirely to the Left, who specialize in methods that are base and foul. Along with the thoughts of various religious “extremists” and nutjobs, their views are reducibly materialist, and the idea that it is better to suffer an injustice than to inflict one is incomprehensible to them.
“Let them live,” should be a motto for the pro-life forces. (Of course I exempt capital punishment under the law.) If God, in His wisdom, should decide to cast them with the Devil into the eternal fire, or even merely into the flames that extinguish, that is not our call. We cannot judge for eternity, and we should not aspire to what we really can’t do.
This is also true of “peace,” which I have frequently distinguished from the fraudulent “peace, peace” that is satirized in Scripture. It is not in our power to impose peace, often even on ourselves, and we may only observe when God has imposed it. It is enough for us to fulfill our modest promises. To die may bring peace profoundly; but suicide is profoundly fretful. It is better to be murdered, against our will.
Even from the little I say above, war and peace, including civil war and domestic peace, are not easily available. Doing nothing to advance either should be indicated; in politics we should let things be.
